That's a Knee!

Tom and I were wrestling rocks into a
staircase. I had just cut a 3/4" root with my hoe. Several days
later he wrote: When I looked at the pants I was wearing . . . they
looked like I had gotten careless with black paint. There were a
couple of one and a half inch lines of black that are 1/4" wide. In
addition, there are half a dozen blotches that look like ink was
spilled and splattered. The black penetrated thru to the inside of
the blue jeans."
